Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given reglan for nausea for pregnancy and within minutes I felt like I was going crazy. I was super jittery and sweating like a pig. I felt like ripping my IV out and running home. I couldn’t even pee. Took a few hours for it to go away and it was horrible."

"Please beware of this drug! Was prescribed metoclopramide for 2 weeks due to nausea caused by IBS and I thought I was going crazy. It started off as feeling restless and unable to be concentrate, developing into nightmares and really dark thoughts. It was terrifying. It may not affect you in this way but I would say think very carefully about taking this drug, and stop immediately if you start to notice anything untoward."

"I was first given reglan after my third bowel obstruction surgery and it worked very quickly. I was on it three times a day for three years. The long term use caused, nausea, 50lb weight loss, visual disturbances, fatigue, Parkinson like shaking, suicidal thoughts and irritability. I would not recommend this to anyone."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Hello, I'm not sure if Reglan good or bad because when I take it I still feel freaking sick at other times I'm good. I cried this morning cause I feel like I have no relief to my morning sickness, I'm not having no more kids"

"I went to ER for a headache. They gave me this medication intravenously and I immediately had the most intense, adverse reaction of wanting to crawl out of my skin with severe inability to stop shaking me feet and legs. I wish I never had it"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I went to urgent care because my nausea has been unmanageable. I don’t throw up all day like I did with my first born, but the nausea makes it impossible to really eat or even take sips of water. I threw up my water yesterday and it was the final straw, sending me to UC. The doctor ordered 2L of NS and a reglan push. I too felt like taking the IV out of my arm, but I was also uncomfortable and shaking because, of course, the NS doesn’t feel so comfortable entering your body. I felt pretty ill for 15 minutes, then I knocked out. Honestly, after I felt way better. The nausea was non existent and I actually had an appetite where I was craving foods again. I didn’t want to take reglan, but I’ve tried all the tips and tricks one can do. I do not want to take it again, just because I don’t like taking medication during pregnancy, but it really helped. Today I’m back to barely having any appetite, for both food and water."

"I developed hyperemesis gravidarum in my first pregnancy. It was awful! Couldn't go to work, cook, do any outside activities, and I was also blacking out a lot from dehydration from the vomiting. My doctor gave me metoclopramide, and IMMEDIATELY I started feeling better. I could stand on my own, keep food down, and go outside! The only side effect I had from it was sleepiness (about 20min after taking it, and for only 10 min). Otherwise, I felt like a completely normal person - even being pregnant. Life saver for me."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Went to the ER May 6th for nausea and heaving plus stomach pains, Was given reglan and pepcid to take. Saturday May 8th I went back to the ER because I was having stroke like symptoms found out that it was the reglan that had caused every symptom that I had, face droop unable to talk etc. I WILL NEVER TAKE REGLAN AGAIN"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given this drug Reglan while I was in labor. I was vomiting every 2-3 contractions, and felt awful. Prior to receiving the medication I was very calm and taking deep breaths through my contractions. Within minutes of receiving the IV Reglan I had a HUGE anxiety attack and began flipping out saying that I couldn’t do this anymore, just take the baby out, I was literally alligator rolling on the bed. I was in a full blown panic attack. It took my husband and the nurse 10 minutes to calm me down, and I was still vomiting either contractions. The rest of my labor went fine, and I didn’t panic at any other point."

"Admitted to the hospital on Monday with Nausea and Vomiting. By Tuesday the Doctor's wanted to send me home but not with out eating. So, I was giving IV push. Within minutes I felt restless, needed to run out of my skin and other all feeling of dread! One of the worst meds. The Doctors acted as if they didn't understand what was going on and the Nurse didn't care. I sat in a fetal position all day trying to breath through the overwhelming restlessness. It is now Tuesday evening and I still feel restless!! Just took Benedryl and it did not help at all. Would not recommend this med or the hospital I was at. Also, losing faith in Nurses and Doctors"

"While metoclopramide does help a lot with nausea and vomiting the trade-off is fatigue and even depression. If you let the bad outweigh the good this isn't for you. But if you can handle the fatigue and depression then this works out when you really need it."

"Had a bad H Pylori infection to the point where I did not eat a thing for just under two weeks. This drug took the edge off, but did not completely remove symptoms. I took 10mg tablets. I have seen many bad reviews about extra-pyramidal effects from this drug - this drug does come with some hefty side effects, but almost all are only ever seen when administered by IV."

"I had a virus and felt sick for several days yet couldn't bring anything up which made me feel worse, the doctor gave me metoclopramide, the sickness went after a day or two but I had the most awful side effects, I felt all wobbly from head to toe and it was the most uncomfortable feeling ever, I felt uncoordinated like I'd become a puppet and had no control over my limbs, I had a sleepless night and went to see my doctor who prescribed me codeine, that got rid of it but it was such a dreadful feeling if ever I get it again I'll just stick to sucking mints and taking alka seltzer."

"I was on this 6 years & I was getting even worse and dry heaving 24/7 and it would only work if I took it in this moment for a couple of hours so I became addicted to them and relying on them a lot. My new doctor did some tests to why I was feeling so unwell and it came back my prolactin level was 3500 which would of temporarily meant my fertility was down the drain, this scared me so much so I decided to listen to him and try come off it. It was so hard coming off it and I’m still suffering from it now. I have a massive phobia of sick and I thought this was my comfort blanket to ensure this nausea didn’t turn to sick however the side effects are not worth it. Try stay on it for as little time as possible and discuss other anti nausea medicines out there. All in all a very effective and quick drug to relieve nausea within a short amount of time but don’t rely on it like I did as I’m now suffering at a young age with a lot of physical problems!"

"Given metoclopramide in hospital to control gastro and vomiting. Extreme panic attack, nurses ended up holding me down which was traumatic. Never had this reaction to other drugs. Am anxious by nature, wish this had been considered during admission! But I was overseas."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I went to the ER for non-stop vomiting & they gave me Reglan through the IV. I was already sitting in the room waiting to be treated for 3 hours so I was already annoyed but once they administer the Reglan & left me there for what would’ve been more hours, I felt like I was going insane. Never in my life have I felt so manic, I called my husband stuttering to him saying “I’m gonna rip the IV out my arm! I have to get out of this hospital!” So he told me to calm down & maybe someone would come check on me but a hour passed & I finally lost it & dialed the nurse to discharge me from the hospital asap. I felt so embarrassed & kept saying “I don’t know why I feel like this” but I was too restless & my anxiety was literally making me crazy. They never warned me of any side effects."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I had surgery on my nose and was given Reglan afterwards because of nausea. This was a terrible mistake, I immediately felt jittery and so restless like I could run a marathon. Thankfully I was still tired that I fell asleep not long after. A few months later I went to the ER after vomiting all night and the nurse injected something into my IV without telling me exactly what it was and I got the same feelings all over again they had to give me something to reverse it and this time I asked for the name of the drug so I can make sure it’s never given to me again."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Have been on Reglan over 1 year. With Reglan I am again able to participate in physical activity without vomiting and nausea AFTERWARDS. Last week Dr says we still don't know why when I get over heated or stressed I vomit get light sensitive nausea etc. Put me on Zofran, blah feel like rubbish with a constant headache now. What do I do."

"I have pregnancies characterized by extremely severe hyperemesis gravidarum. I spend most of my pregnancy nil by mouth in the hospital and then get a picc line. They gave me Reglan and let me tell you. It made me severely depressed and suicidal. It did not touch my nvp either. The combination of a very adverse reaction to this medicine and malnutrition caused me to terminate my wanted and planned pregnancy. I have dealt with severe hg before and have a 2yo. I did not realize this medicine caused this until recently I was given it before a surgical procedure. It made me out of my mind! I felt like jumping out of my skin. I tried to rip out my IV and leave the hospital! They said it's a common reaction to reglan! Why wasn't I warned?!"

"I went to the ER because of my severe morning sickness. I couldn’t keep anything down including water. I was first given two bags of saline through IV then they gave me the “cocktail” - benadryl, Reglan. When she gave me the Reglan I was fine no effects. But when she gave the Benedryl I instantly felt drowsy and very disoriented. It helped my nausea and I’m currently taking 10 mg tablets of Reglan to help control nausea it just makes me very very tired."

"As most of the reviews listed here, this drug is awful. I had nausea and vomiting for several days and was given a maxolon injection. 20 minutes later I had a panic attack. Never had one prior in my life. 18 months later I’m still suffering from anxiety and depression and on medication to combat these conditions. Avoid this drug at all costs."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was prescribed Reglan after suffering severe hyperemesis for about 4 weeks. I was desperate, throwing up 3-8 times daily and feeling sick all day. Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep etc. It was an absolute nightmare. I was finally given this medicine after trying some b-6 and antihistamines which btw did absolutely nothing for me. All I can say is wow. It gave me a semblance of a life again. My sickness is not ALL the way gone but it’s extremely manageable. I would recommend this for hy. Anyone that has ever had hyperemesis knows how much of a nightmare it is. I won’t give a perfect score because the sickness is not ALL the way gone but really close."

"I used to stay in the hospital three days in a row trying to figure out what was wrong with my stomach. I didn't know what was wrong but I was in severe pain. To the point of rocking back and forth. They finally did an upper gi to find my condition . Prescribed me this and I haven't had an attack since."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I received this medication for nausea while 39 weeks pregnant. I initially received Zofran and when that didn’t work - they gave me Reglan. I was not informed of the side effects I would feel. I have really bad anxiety when it comes to side effects after receiving Benadryl through IV 2 years ago. My IV site was infiltrated and the Benadryl leaked into my blood stream. Since then, I’m anxious about receiving anything other than fluids through IV. Anyway, they gave me the Reglan. After 10 mins, I was inconsolable. I couldn’t find a comfortable spot. I started to breathe faster, I felt under the influence almost. An extreme panic attack. I was trying to keep myself from shaking. I got chills. I told my husband to hug me (he usually does this when I have an anxiety induced attack). He had to hug me for 15 minutes. If he let go, I just kept getting up and down. I wanted to cry, I felt like screaming, I felt like jumping out of my own skin. I kept telling myself to relax. It was crazy."
